Interesting to see the dynamic between you and your mom. Your demeanor subtly changes. Alone on camera, you have a more independent persona. But with your mom, there's just a hint of little girl, sitting by her momma's side & still looking up to her. It's beautiful.

Nice! What a nice Q&A with your nice and lovely Momma. It's great that you both had the chance to experience all of those moments and the Grandpup Fancy too was such a hoot! Just loved the whole thing - sure sorry you lost footage. I wanted it to last so much longer. :) Congrats! I turned 69 this summer and since watching your channel, i hiked 2 short sections in VA in the Shenandoah National Forest near Lewis Mountain after Christmas last winter with my 47 yr old nephew. I was unprepared for the elevation change, but I did it. And I will be going again - maybe soon - just because of you! Thank you so much for the inspiration!

Congrats to both of you! Speaking as a stubborn solo traveler myself, there's nothing like the honesty of experience you have when you hike with family... and the family you love. I'd almost say that it's a good thing you lost that footage; then you can keep those moments private, all for yourselves.

I have put it off cause I didn't think I could do it at my age.. but now.. Heck Yeah! I'm going for it!! The only thing is I don't want to go alone.. maybe I am a little scared.. What are your thoughts on this and ask your mom how would she feel doing it alone.. Thanks for this video Dixie! Awesome Job to both both of you!👍

Awesome accomplishment, Rhonda. I’ll be 65 in December, and a frequent hiker and backpacker. My longest trips have been five days, so I’m particularly impressed with your trip this summer. Speaking of the “age” thing, is signed up for a small group at church that will be doing day hikes twice monthly. When I saw the first communication to the Take A Hike group, it was evident most of the more than two dozen members are in their 20’s. No problem, I’ll hold back so they can keep up!

Hey there D's mom! I think you have a wonderful attitude. An acquaintance of mine was 77 when she summited Mt. Rainier. She's well into her 90's now, and when I ran into her at Home Depot a few weeks ago she invited me hiking! My take away: Stay hiking, stay young. Congratulations on your successful hikes, and thank you for raising such a great family.

I had the shots in my heels 30 years ago for stress fractures and i remember how bad my heels hurt for about two weeks after. But the shots worked wonders after the first two weeks and I haven't had problems since.

I'm 57 and never thought about backpacking but now after watching your triple crown documentaries and then watching you and your mom I'm seriously thinking about doing section hikes of the AT using a week vacation at a time which is approximately 9 days, I'm close to the AT as I live on the east coast, the only thing that scares me is the huge drop off or cliffs, but I think the AT isn't as bad as the other two, as i've gotten older my balance isn't as good as it was when I was younger but maybe better balance will come with better physical condition, which is something i'll have to do before attempting the section hikes. Good luck on your next hike I look forward to watching your next adventure.

Very encouraging! I will be 51 or 52 or so when I begin the PCT, I hope! Waiting for younger kids to reach adulthood, something I feel is best, and it gives me time to prepare, cause not physically ready yet. However emotionally/psychologically I can barely wait! So watching and learning as much as possible from thru or sectional hikers and campers etc, while I wait.
